About Idaho TCOM
The Idaho TCOM Institute promotes collaboration between system partners to standardize the delivery and application of the TCOM tools, including the Child Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) and Crisis Assessment Tool (CAT). This enables greater collaboration around the needs and strengths of child-serving systems to increase the effectiveness and improvement in the way Idaho's children, youth and families are served.
Please contact the Idaho TCOM Team at BHTCOM@dhw.idaho.gov if you would like to meet (virtually or in-person) and we will find a time that works for you!
